AUTO STOP function

With the AUTO STOP function, recorded documents and instructions can be located without the user’s having to listen to the entire tape.

This function activates only in rewind or fast forward mode.

When the AUTO STOP button is pressed, AUTO STOP appears on the display window and the tape automatically stops at each electronic index signal previously recorded on the tape. (See “To record LTR and SEC signals” on page 9.)

•When the LTR signal is detected, the LTR document counter number increases or decreases, “LTR” blinks for approximately 3 seconds, and a beep tone is heard. The tape stops automatically.

•When the SEC signal is detected, the special instruction counter number increases or decreases, “SEC” blinks for approximately 3 seconds, and a beep tone is heard. The tape stops automatically.

When the AUTO STOP function is off, the numbers on the LTR (document) and SEC (special instruction) counters increase or decrease and “LTR” or “SEC” blinks when an LTR or SEC signal is detected, but the tape does not stop.

Controlling the speed

Set the SPEED CONTROL switch* to ON to adjust the speed only by the SPEED control. The tape can be played back at higher or lower speed than normal.

When the SPEED CONTROL switch is set to OFF, the tape moves at the normal speed regardless of the position of the SPEED control.

*Tape speed can be changed in the range of about –10% to +50% with the use of the SPEED control.
